There are so many bugs is SCSI device already.. I also think SCSI <-> SCSI
is asking for trouble, but it might be a nice hack to try.

Actually, I'd be more keen to see if we can make the SCSI subsystem act as a
device on the SCSI bus and perhaps link multiple machines together via SCSI.
(Get one crapola 486 or preventium, 64MB of ram, four 16.8GB EIDE drives, a
buslogic SCSI controller and you have one hell of an emulated SCSI raid
subsystem.... for a fraction the cost of SCSI drives themselves).
